A new TOUCH in APRS operations

A complete stand alone

The AvMap Geosat 5 APRS is an attractive, feature-rich personal navigator customized with Amateur Radio features. The Geosat 5 is practical and easy to use with a builtin highly sensitive 20 channel Sirf III GPS engine for fast and highly accurate fix. The ultra bright, non-glaring, 5 inch, TFT TOUCHSCREEN is easy to view. The Geosat 5 night mode and auto brightness features make viewing easy and hassle-free in any lighting condition.

The Geosat 5 comes with a Kenwood-ready cable and exclusive APRS bi-directional RS-232 APRS interface compatible with ALL current APRS ready Kenwood Radios, including the new TM-D710A/E. Geosat 5 provides GPS location information for your transmitted APRS beacons, and it shows received APRS information on its map display. The unit can store up to 1000 APRS Contacts and display them on the map.

Watch APRS activity right on the screen and you can distinguish between fixed and mobile APRS stations. Static positions are represented by blue bulls-eye icons along with the associated call sign. Moving positions are represented by red triangles and associated call sign. If used with a Kenwood D710A/E and if set in the KENWOOD format sentence, the Geosat 5 supports standardized APRS icons.
